Kim laughed as she got out of Bosco's car one afternoon in front of the
police station. "That's a sick joke," she told him.
"Yeah, but you laughed anyway." He teased.
"I'm your girlfriend. I'm supposed to laugh at your stupid jokes." She grinned.
"Your duty, right?"
"You know it." She met him around the back of his car. "Am I gonna see you tonight?"
"I promised my mom I'd help her do something at the bar. I think the pool table's broken or something. Wanna come with me?"
"I've got Joey."
"What? You can't bring him?"
"I told him no bars till he was eight." Kim laughed.
"Aw Mom!" Bosco teased her. "I'll call you in the morning okay? We can have breakfast or something."
"Or something?" Kim rose her eyebrow.
"Or something."
"I would love that." Kim kissed him. "See ya later."
"Bye." Bosco watched her head across the street before heading inside of the station.

"Kim, hey." Jimmy caught Kim before she headed up the stairs. "We have to talk about something."
"Oh great. How long should I hold the check?"
"What? No. The check's gold."
"Good, cause I put it in the bank already."
"This is about something else."
"What?"
"I'm not sure how you're gonna react to this."
"I might surprise you. I'm feeling pretty good today." Kim smiled.
"Right. Uh, Brooke and I got engaged. We're getting married."
"Wow. That was fast."
"We've been going out for about five months."
"Oh."
"That's only a little longer you and I dated.
"Not the best example but okay. I think it's great. I'm sure you'll both be happy. I'll see you later." Kim went up the stairs past Jimmy.

"Hello?" Kim answered the phone.
"How do you feel about pizza?"
"For breakfast?" She giggled.
"No I mean for dinner. I'm done early."
"Oh I would love that but I'm afraid I'll be asleep by the time you get here. I am wiped."
"So tomorrow?"
"Absolutely. I'll come over after I get Joey to school."
"Sounds good. Just let yourself in."
"Okay. Bye." Kim said before they hung up.
Just as she turned off the living room light her doorbell buzzed. She smiled and shook her head. Before she opened the door she looked through the peephole and her smile faded. She opened the door. "What?"
"Can we talk?"
"It's the middle of the night."
"I know. Please?"
Kim looked over her shoulder. "Okay, just for a sec."
"Are you alone?"
"Bosco's not here."
Jimmy nodded. "Look, I just came to say-" He broke off.
"What?"
"If you tell me not to, I won't get married."
"What?"
"If there's any chance for us, I need to know."
"Jimmy, you can't do this."
"Kim, I just want to know."
She looked at him for a moment before she spoke. "Good night Jimmy."
"Yeah, but you laughed anyway." He teased.
"I'm your girlfriend. I'm supposed to laugh at your stupid jokes." She grinned.
